Still using Linux Mint 7 on my EeePC 901 but really cannot see any but very minor differences from Ubuntu 9.04 which I have on the same box. I have, however, been adding some differences my self such as using Kiba-Dock in Mint rather than AWN.Today, I installed Checkgmail rather than Gmail-notify which I use in Ubuntu.I used the svn version but needed to install three dependencies to get it to run. The first (whose name I forget) was available in the Mint repos but two others (XML-Simple-2.18 and Crypt-SSLeay-0.57) I had to download the sources and compile.However, after installing these two, everything went fine.Checkgmail works fine in Mint although I'm not sure if it does anything better than Gmail-notify. However, it is different.

What's that picture?

This is the Praça de Estação (Station Park) near the center of Belo Horizonte, MG in Brazil where I live. This area which includes a metro station was recently cleaned up and refurbished and has become one of the picture postcard areas of a city that is truly finding its identity.
